Default How low will TEIN SS coils allow me to go?

Close to purchasing a Tein SS coils. I was looking around at pictures and I think the tucked look in the rear wheels looks nice. Will I be able to accomplish that? Also how is the ride ? Is is good enough to buy? thanks

I want it so that there is zero finger gap in the front and I want the tires to cover a little bit in the back.(basically tucked in the rear) Will this coil allow me to do it? I looked at another post about Tanabe sustec 5, are Tein ss and tanabe's drop height about the same? which one will go lower?

I believe it only looks the same because everyone just drops it perfectly no gap and don't want any rubbing or uncomfort
